"Di satu sisi, nasib Che Guevara jauh lebih buruk daripada nasib Simon Bolivar. Runtuhnya Guevara selesai: niatnya dilupakan, tetapi gayanya diambil oleh pemilik butik (salah satu toko pakaian paling keren di London disebut Che Guevara). Tidak ada cara yang lebih cepat untuk menghancurkan seseorang atau mengejek ide-idenya selain membuatnya modis. Bahwa Che berhasil memengaruhi perancang busana adalah bagian dari tragedi itu."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

In a way, Che Guevara's fate was far worse than Simon Bolivar's. Guevara's collapse was complete: his intentions were forgotten, but his style was taken up by boutique owners (one of the fanciest clothes stores in London is called Che Guevara). There is no faster way of destroying a man or mocking his ideas than making him fashionable. That Che succeeded in influencing dress-designers was part of his tragedy.
